Hence the quotes around the word regress.
But still, we are adding unnecessary overhead (previously nonexistent) to compound pages
even those where the issue doesn't exist (hugetlb).

That looks better. It would require moving check_and_migrate_movable_pages() elsewhere,
and/or possibly reworking the entire series?

If check_and_migrate_movable_pages() is meant to migrate unpinned pages, then rather than
pinning+unpinning+moving, perhaps it would be called in __get_user_pages() place where we
are walking page tables and know if it's a PUD/PMD and can skip all the subpages and just
record and migrate those instead. Was that your thinking?
